Bug 59029 seems to have nothing to do with my report since it's about
some php stuff :) Maybe the correct number is another one. However I
don't clearly understand what that option is for:
" -B n,m, --buffer-fragments=n,m
For the Linux/FreeBSD/OSS/ALSA/Windows sound driver, selects the
number of buffer fragments in interactive mode. Increasing the
number of fragments may reduce choppiness when many processes
are running. It will make TiMidity++ seem to respond sluggishly
to fast forward, rewind, and volume controls, and it will throw
the status display off sync. Specify a fragments number of 0 to
use the maximum number of fragments available.
"
however it seems to me that "_may_ reduce choppiness" and "it _will_
make timidity++ seem to respond sluggishly" explain the situation very
well: you get a disadvantage without any guarantee of an advantage.
However, one should ask the original debian maintainer or whoever
patched it in ubuntu, I mean who introduced that line, in case one
wonders why it was introduced. Did you try both with and without that
option on your machine, Luca?
